Pros

There are no pros here unless you're satisfied doing between 1500 2000 miles a week. Supposedly was one of their top drivers and made no money. Matter of fact put me in debt with child support and other personal bills. I do not recommend this job to anyone. I've worked here for 2 1/2 yrs and I sat more than I drove. And when you drove it was a crappy runs with up to 3 days to run.

Cons

If you have any incidents absolutely not your fault by police authority, they will find a way to make it a preventable even tho you had no out in the situation. Trust me I know!! I've been threw it. Then they send a letter with every employee who had an accident with amounts and brief discription on what happen. And try to belittle you with a written paragraph. Trust I have it on hand and can prove it. And if you get terminated they leave you stranded. Or if you made enough money they get you a greyhound on your dime. Not worth working for these guys.

Pros

The yard is reasonably close to my house. Oh, and once in a blue moon, let's say one week out of four, I actually get a decent paycheck.

Cons

Where do I start? 1. I am constantly picking up trailers that other drivers have dropped with defects and needed repairs. they are the ones who are supposed to take those trailers to get them fixed. Almost weekly I am the one stuck taking it in to be repaired, wasting my drive time and not able to get good mileage. 2. When I finally take home time, I almost always have a list of repairs that need to be made on my truck. On several occasions I came back to find that some, if not all, repairs still had to be done. Not only am I not out on the road making any money, I am expected to sleep in the truck at the yard instead of being with my family or being put up in a hotel. 3. Customer service and or/dispatch scheduling loads to be delivered way after the time it takes me to get to the location, so I am stuck sitting around waiting for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours to make a delivery. Again, not making any money. Are you starting to see a familiar theme here? It is difficult enough being on the road for weeks at a time, away from family and other responsibilities. To have a poor pay check to show for it?
